It’s that time of year again: children will dress as athletes, ghosts, pirates, or their favorite princess and flood the streets collecting allkinds of delicious candy from nearby houses. Children look forward tothis night for weeks. Costumes are carefully planned and routes arechosen well before the night of Halloween. Children go to school comparing costumes and talking with eager voices about how muchcandy they plan to consume following a night of trick-or-treating. WhileHalloween is full of lighthearted fun, there are several things parentsand children alike need to be aware of to ensure the safety of everyone on this highly anticipated evening.

One of the most obvious “dangerous” activities surrounding Halloween is carving pumpkins, especially for younger kids. For youngchildren, allow them to draw on the pumpkin with apen or a marker and then have an adult do the actualcarving for them. For those carving the pumpkins, remember to carve away from your body to preventcutting in case the knife or other cutting deviceslips. It is best to put battery powered candles inthe pumpkins instead of real candles in case it falls

over, especially for those pumpkins on the porch with a lot of kids walking past it to trick-or-treat.

As trick-or-treating begins, first and foremost parents must rememberthat kids should never trick-or-treat alone. Younger children shouldtravel with parents or a trusted adult while older children should eithertravel with an adult or in a group. Everyone knows children will be outand about on Halloween so it is important to be extremely cautious,even in safe areas. While out trick-or-treating, never get into the car ofa stranger or go into the house of someone you do not know. Youshould also only visit well-lit houses. If possible, wear costumes withbright colors to be easily seen. If a costume is dark, add reflective tapeto the back of it and to trick-or-treat bags to ensure your child is seenby all vehicles and other pedestrians.

As the night goes on, trick-or-treating ends and the kids make it homesafely, it becomes time to dig into all the candy acquired throughoutthe evening. Before the gorging begins, it is very important to firstcheck all the candy and make sure it is safe to eat. Remember to nevereat opened or unwrapped candy. If the candy looks like it has beentampered with, throw it away. While in most cases it could be harmless,it is much better to be safe than sorry. It is also recommended to noteat homemade baked goods from strangers if they are handing thoseout instead of candy. Contrary to popular opinion, try to ration out thecandy gathered for the days following Halloween. Eating all of thatcandy the first day or two is not recommended.

For those who expect trick-or-treaters to come to their house on Halloween, make sure to keep the exterior of the home safe and conducive to visitors. Remove anything from the porch and walk waythat could pose as a tripping hazard including garden hoses, toys andlawn decorations. Make sure the house is well-lit and pets are restrained to prevent any jumping or accidental biting.

While there is a lot to be cautious of on Halloween, it is still a fun timefor people of all ages. Be alert, but at the same token, have a greattime and enjoy the costumes, decorations and candy overload. Afterall; it only comes around once a year.

Fall is in the air and the weather is perfect fortaking your dog out for a hike…What?! Youdon’t have a dog? No problem! October is National Adopt a Shelter Dog Month. Justhead out to the Hardin County Animal Shelterand adopt one! But first, there are some thingsto consider before adding a new member tothe Family – especially a Military Family.

The very first thing to consider is if you are willing to make a 10 – 15 year commitment.While they don’t usually live as long as cats,dogs still have fairly long lifespans. Make sureyou are prepared for that.

The next thing to consider is how old are yourchildren? Children who are under seven yearsold are not usually developmentally suited forpuppies less than five months old or toy-sizeddogs. Puppies have very sharp teeth and toenails and can unintentionally hurt children.In turn, puppies and toy-sized dogs can be easily injured by rough handling.

Another thought to consider is who will be thedog’s primary caretaker? There is not always someone at home, so thedog gets sandwiched in between lessons, sports, chores, etc. One par-ent should be designated Primary Caretaker to make sure the dog doesnot get lost in the shuffle.

How much you are willing and able to spend is another issue to consider. Adoption from a reputable shelter is relatively inexpensive butthere are still other costs to keep in mind, suchas; initial and on-going veterinary care, a training crate or obedience classes, food,grooming, chew toys, and miscellaneous supplies (leashes, grooming products and heartworm medications, to name a few). Veryfew dogs live their lives without at least one veterinary accident. These surprises can cost$500 or more.

The next consideration is how much time andenergy can you spend on a new dog? Variousbreeds and ages of dogs make different demands on our spare time. Puppies and adolescents need more exercise, training, andsupervision than adult dogs. The first year withany new dog will put more demands on theowner than any other time, for this is when youare setting up house rules and routines for yourdog’s lifetime.

The Military Family has other important things toconsider as well. When you PCS, your pet willneed time to acclimate to its new home. If youTDY or deploy over-seas, what are the optionsfor your pet? Sometimes you are allowed to takeyour pets with you, other times, you are not.

Learning what is required BEFORE theseevents happen can help determine if now isthe right time to bring a new member intoyour Family. Keep an accurate record of yourpet’s history, vaccinations and medications sowhen the time comes, it will be easier for you to prepare. The Fort Knox On-Post Veterinarian can help with these issues.

Another issue to consider is how a pet mightreact to a Family member who may suffer fromcombat related injuries. Pets can be a hugesource of comfort for the individual or Family, but understanding how your pet mightreact to stress and change is crucial. Consultyour veterinarian, and research, to find the knowledge and help you need to be sure your whole Family can move forward withadoption together.

You’ve decided to adopt! Congratulations! Remember, having prior knowledge of what toexpect from dog ownership is the BEST way toensure a long, happy life with your dog.

If you decide “now” is not the right time toadopt, there are other ways to help:

• Update your Facebook and Twitter status’ with “October is Adopt-A-Shelter-Dog Month. Save a life: Adopt a dog!www.petfinder.com”

• Stop by or contact the Hardin County Animal Shelter at (270) 769-3428 and ask for their donation wish list. Contribute

and share the information.

• Sign up as a foster parent or shelter volunteer. The San Diego Humane Society website has excellent information for Military Pet Owners at:www.sdhumane.org/PAW/PETTIPS/DogTip_MilitaryPetOwnersBeingDeployed.php

Make a Difference on Fort Knox

knox.armymwr.com

By Jennifer Dent

Every year on October 24, millions of Americans join together tohelp out their local Communities in the nation’s largest day of community service, called Make a Difference Day. This campaignwas introduced in 1990 as a way for people to better the lives ofothers by volunteering in a variety of ways in their neighborhoods,towns and cities.

Throughout the years, many great projects and deeds have been accomplished because of this initiative. However, supporting our Soldiers and their Families is something that can be done any day ofthe year. Army Families are typically tight knit Communities that tendto lean on each other for the support they need to deal with the rigors of Army life. There are many support agencies on post that areconstantly looking for volunteers from the local Community and residence of Fort Knox.

The CYSS sports programs are frequently in need of coaches andmentors for youth recreation leagues. These leagues are runthroughout the year and each sport varies through the seasons.Youth sports can help benefit the children of Fort Knox by teachingthem new skills, responsibility, the importance of teamwork and camaraderie. It can also build self-esteem, as well as establish lifelong habits for good health.

The American Red Cross on Fort Knox offers the following programs that frequently need assistance to run properly.

• Helping Hands – provides food, clothing and household goods assistance to Military families with a financial need.

• Santa’s Workshop – provides toys to Military Families who have financial challenges during the holiday season.

• Pet Therapy Programs – offers pet therapy training for dogs and their owners to participate in various programs serving Soldiers and their Families.

Family Readiness Groups (FRG) are organizations of Family members, volunteers, and Soldiers belonging to a unit. These groupsenhance the well-being and provide mutual support and

communication among Family members, their unit and the Community. They are commonly a backbone for Army Spouseswhose Soldiers are deployed.

In turn, organizations like BOSS (Better Opportunity for Single Soldiers) do a lot to help the surrounding Communities of Fort Knox.The program provides single Soldiers the opportunity to serve theirlocal Community through projects like local food drives, coat drives,Habitat for Humanity, and volunteer work at the Hardin County Humane Society, just to name a few. It also serves as an outlet for single Soldiers to connect with other single Soldiers, as well as provide a support system that develops bonds and a sense of Family that they might not have immediately available to them.BOSS hosts many revenue generating activities throughout the yearto fund these activities and projects. Keep an eye out for the BOSSlogo – for your chance to show your support.

If you are interested in volunteering on Fort Knox, please contactthe Army Volunteer Corps Coordinator at (502) 624-8419. Theirpurpose is to unite all volunteers and organizations on post by enhancing the career mobility of volunteers, establishing partner-ships, and promoting a life-long commitment to service. For more information about Army Community Service, please call (502) 624-6291 or (502) 624-8391.

Just as each branch of the Military has a set of core values, soshould every relationship. These samecore values can keep your relationshipsstrong and healthy. Core Values are more thantalk, core values are lived and reflected in our everyday interactions. Respect and trust are the foundations of healthy intimate relationships, but successful lasting relationships also require integrity, commitment, honesty, selflessness and courage.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Domestic Violence can belethal, even fatal and it is never “OK”. It goes against all relationship values. Noone deserves abuse, and anyone can be a victim regardless of age, sex, race, religion, or rank. Abuse can be verbal, physical, emotional or sexual. Some of themost hurtful and long lasting forms of abuse may never leave a bruise.

The world of many domestic violence victims is lonely, isolated and filled withfear. Safety of the victims and children is essential. Family violence hurts everyone, and its effects can ripple through generations. Letting the victim knowthat you are concerned could make all the difference. The following are sometips for lending support to a victim of domestic violence.

• Listen without judgement• Believe the victim• Validate the victim’s feelings• Educate yourself on the signs of abuse• Provide the Victim Advocate’s phone number (502-624-2635) for

additional assistance

Although there is no right or wrong way to help a victim of domestic violence,you want to avoid anything that would make the situation worse. Here are some “don’ts”:

• Never blame the victim• Don’t underestimate the potential danger for the victim and yourself• Don’t do anything that may provoke the abuser• Don’t pressure the victim• Don’t give up. If he/she is not willing to open up at first, be patient

If you know that violence is actively occurring, call 9-1-1 immediately. If yousee/hear abuse, call the police/MP’s. The police/MP’s are the most effective way

to remove immediate danger tothe victim and their children.

Healthy relationships don’t just happen, theytake time and effort. Every couple may experi-

ence relationship challenges at times, but no matterhow difficult the challenges may be, commit to live by

the core values and working through the issues in ahealthy way. Don’t let individual or Family stress escalate

into domestic violence. Resources are available to develop positive, healthy relationships.

The following events will be conducted on and off the installation insupport of Domestic Violence Awareness Month:

October 1 Information Fair at the Fort Knox Commissary 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.October 2 Wear Purple! Support Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Stewart’s first novel, The Lincoln Deception, similarlymixed fact and fiction, withFraser and Speed investigat-ing the possibility that theconspiracy which killed Abraham Lincoln was far bigger, and more insidiousthan John Wilkes Booth’scabal of conspirators.

Social Resiliency is the timely capacity of individuals and groups – Family, Community, Country, and Enterprise – tobe more generative during times of stability, and to adapt, reorganize, andgrow in response to disruption. In short,social resiliency is our ability to live in harmony and balance with others and oursurroundings through ups and downs,highs and lows, sickness and health.Though social resiliency covers a wide variety of aspects in an individual’s life,none is greater than one’s overall well-being. Good health encompasses thecompleteness of one’s physical, mentaland social well-being, and not merely theabsence of disease or infirmity. Beingphysically healthy equips one with thenecessary tools to maintain their ability torecover, bounce back and go with the flow.

A valuable resiliency event centered on health is theFort Knox Health BenefitsFair held annually by the Human Resources Command for Departmentof Defense Civilians. Thisevent is strategically heldjust prior to the federalprovider’s open season,during which time DoDCivilians can adjust currentprovider coverage, orswitch enrollments to newproviders.

The purpose of the event istwo-fold – it both providesa platform for health, dental and vision providersto share detailed informa-tion about their programs,and it also affords theDoD Civilian the opportunity to have

face-to-face interaction, Q&A, and comparison shop theprovisions and rates of each provider. As a result, thegoal is that DoD Civilians educate themselves with theability to make informed decisions regarding theirhealth care.

Obtaining proper health care is an important component in maintaining optimum health and vitality. With health care no longer being an option,and becoming increasingly expensive, one shouldselect the providers that give the best bang for thebuck.

“When you have your health, you have everything. When you do not have your health,nothing else matters at all.” Augusten Burroughs

This year’s annual Fort Knox Health Benefits Fairwill be held November 5, 2015 from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. at the HRC Café, Bldg. 6424Spearhead Division Avenue. All DoD Civilians are welcome.

For more information on the event, contact LorrieCary-Hill at [email protected] or ValerieParks at [email protected].
